Small islands developing states constitute a fruitful topic to work on concerning the question of vulnerability and resilience. As debated in the economic literature, these territories present structural characteristics - smallness, remoteness and insularity - that are considered as strong...

Several assessments of vulnerability and resilience have been attempted at a country level through composite indices but they are barely in accord with a holistic view of sustainable development. We suggest graph theory to structure a network of variables that depict vulnerability and resilience...

This article revisits the art of building composite vulnerability and resilience indexes in development economics at a macro scale. We propose a holistic index whose components result from an algorithm of graph theory (the net vulnerability and resilience index), which we compare with the...

By reasoning of composite indexes, several empirical tests have been implemented to compare countries on a macroeconomic scale for their vulnerability but rarely for their resilience. The results, based on different computation methods, do not systematically deal with sustainable development,...
